CFF is offering a wonderful rod and reel combination just in time for trout season!

This is a G.Loomis Rod (Pro 4x 9’ 5wt) with a Sage 2250 reel (~$500 total).

From the G.Loomis website: “As with our PRO4x trout rods, we’ve mirrored our NRX taper designs with the PRO4x salmon and steelhead rods to gain a noticeable reduction in weight, especially in the tip-section. This not only makes the rod fish lighter – a much improved swing-weight – but increases the rate of blank recovery for better casting distance and accuracy. Proprietary processes in both blank and rod manufacturing allow us to provide optimum performance in key areas to improve line control and mending. They will handle sink-tips, shooting heads and of course, full floating lines with ease. Available in 9 & 10-foot lengths, these are not only high performance, but economical as well. As beautiful to look at as they are to fish, these are rods any fly fisher would be proud to own. It’s what you’ve come to expect from G.Loomis”

Our February auction is for a seat on a full day Sandy River Steelhead float trip with Mark Bachmann of The Fly Fishing Shop in Welches. Nobody knows the Sandy like Mark and he will put you on prime waters!

The auction winner will be joined by the winner of the raffle to be held at the Feb. 21 club meeting. The 2 of you will then get to negotiate dates with Mark.

CFF will be auctioning off 1 seat on a full day Jet Sled Steelhead trip on the Clackamas River guided by Rob Crandall’s Watertime Outfitters. This full day trip (detailed description follows) must be taken during March or April of 2017. The winner will be joined by the winner of the raffle held at our December CFF meeting.

“With perfect water for the swung fly, chrome fish arriving daily and a mountain view the Clack is the perfect choice for the spey rod angler. Variety and options abound on the Clackamas. With the speed and versatility of the jet boat we can cover many different sections of the river often without other anglers; during low water times the drift boat comes in handy.

Guided jet boat trips cover the best waters of the river, timing our fishing locations to optimize our results. Full day trips may cover many miles or just a few depending on where the fish are; the mobility of the jet boats helps us “stay in the fish”. Hot riverside meals are served with your full day of fishing with the jet boat.

You are bidding for one 1 (one) seat on a full day trip, date to be negotiated with the raffle winner and WTO.

To submit a bid send an email to bartschp@gmail.com including your full name, bid, return email, and contact phone number. Bids will be accepted in the order they are received. Bidding begins at $125 and will close at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2016.
